Die denkmalgeschützten Häuser in Alt-Nikosia, die vom letzten Erzbischof in den Jahren 2021 und 2025 abgerissen wurden.

I must be missing something obviously, but why were these rebuilt?

We’re they actually demolished while belonging to someone? I thought these were completely abandoned buildings so I’d thought the space (given that it didn’t actually belong to someone) could be used for something else (green space, mini parks etc)

Sounds about right 🤯

The classic „leave one wall and rebuild everything else and it’s still considered listed“ trick from the people who probably invented it

That church is ugly too. It doesn’t fit into the old town- then again neither do many buildings eg. Modern art gallery, new town hall, shakolas tower. It’s truly disappointing how little architectural regulation there is in Cyprus.
